implications. Indeed, in their talk the students seemed toprivilege either consideration to the exclusion of the other. Additionally, the nature of the interactions with the project affected students’ orientationtoward their design work, Sebastian (Class B) excluded his project from ethical considerationbecause in his words, this phase was just an initial test to see if the product worked. He describedhis take on his team’s product: This is basically just going to one teacher, and I don’t see much of a[n ethical concern] with it because we’re sending it to him and it’s going to be just a lesson plan for a few weeks, and if it’s effective, then great, and if not, it’s just an experiment then and we can just narrow it down

Engineering Ethics

in this work: historically, engineers have not agreed on foundational concerns ordefinitions of engineering. Hence, engineers do not have some form of constitution or bible thatthey can refer to provide any universal answers. To me, one of the best ways to consider current“norms,” as well as the propensity towards engineering in ethics or ethics in engineering, wouldbe to review how codes of ethics have evolved over time.As one noteworthy example, ASCE recently added a Canon 8, “Treat All Persons Fairly.”Subpart C of Canon 8 focuses on diversity: “Engineers shall consider the diversity of thecommunity, and shall endeavor in good faith to include diverse perspectives, in the planning andperformance of their professional services.” This is one

Page 22.1359.15 of the semester, but would add to it. It would be good to include that civil engineering is the completion of said tasks through ethical, sustainable, efficient, environmentally conscious, and worldly means. I would attempt now to define Civil Engineering as the collaborative process of designing, planning, and effectively implementing a project that solves a problem in an ethical, cost- effective, and sustainable way. Now, I think about civil engineering as an engineering profession that fulfills projects that benefit society through a variety of sub disciplines that include structures, construction, geotechnical, water resources, transportation and environmental. Each sub discipline then consists of

level; whenfull of water for the hot summers, their weight doubled. To accommodate the extra weight, 10-inch concrete floor slabs were added. When area residents complained about excessive noisefrom the units, Lee simply had them pushed to the opposite side of the roof, causing large cracksthat indicated a degree of structural damage.36, 38 Altogether, these alterations to the fifth floorresulted in the building’s dead load being 35% more than the designed load.37, 39The loading problem was exacerbated by other building elements, as revealed by post-disasterinvestigations: the concrete for the flat-slab construction, while weak, was not substandard, but itwas missing about half of the rebar required by building codes; columns ed in design plans

disengage in certain circumstances. Although it identifies eight dimensions of moral disengagement (moral justification, euphemistic labeling, advantageous comparison, displacement of responsibility, diffusion of responsibility, distortion of consequences, attribution of blame, and dehumanization), the scale is most correctly used as a measure of the single higher order concept of moral disengagement. 
• Experiences (17 items): Students were asked about their participation within the last two years and their plans to participate in the future in seventeen types of experiences: 1. Volunteer regularly (1+ time per month for 6 months longer) 2. Mission or volunteering trip (any location) 3. Work or internship in a non-profit
